On the morning of the 26th, Lee Su-ji met with Donga.com for an interview at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
On this day, when asked about the most pleasant reaction from the public, Lee Soo-ji said, “These days, the compliments I like the most are ‘terrible’ and ‘funny.’”
When asked if she had any desire to act in a serious drama, Lee Soo-ji said, “I still have a desire to act.This is just a dream, but after I turn 50 and time passes, I want to try playing a role of a mother who can move people and make them cry.”
While doing so, she drew attention by saying, “Gags are a part of acting, but I think studying is really necessary to make people emotional or cry.I want to accumulate that time and later make the Republic of Korea cry with my acting as a mother.”
Lee Soo-ji also added, “I really cry a lot.When I say ‘Mom,’ I get emotional.I think I’d be happy if those who see this emotion can relate and cry.”
When asked about another goal, Lee Soo-ji answered, “I also want to do my own comedy show that lasts an hour and a half to two hours.I think it would be really happy if I could play the characters I’ve played up close to the audience and ad-lib while communicating with them.”
Lastly, Lee Soo-ji said, “I check all the comments,” and “I cry when I read the comments.People who were really hurt leave comments.Those people even send me DMs.I cry when I see people say that they can’t go out but are laughing while watching the video.When I see those messages, I think that I can be a source of strength to someone.”
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-ji debuted as a 10th SBS open recruitment comedian in 2008, and then debuted again as a 27th KBS open recruitment comedian in 2012.She also won the Female Variety Show Award at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards.
